Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Normal Request
A family, mom (21) and dad (21), and their three children (5,1,10 months) could greatly benefit from CarePortal's help. Dad works full time and mom is currently working on completing her high school diploma while caring for the children at home. This worker had a home visit last month and when asked where everyone sleeps in their new rental home, the mom disclosed their oldest child 5 (male) is sleeping on the couch and does not have his own bed in the home. This family also recently lost access to transportation affecting Dad getting to work every day. Mom shared that while she was driving over a hill in their 2011 Buick she hit a brick and it tore a large hole in the transmission. Any help from a car repair shop or funds to go towards a transmission repair would be life-changing for this hard-working family.

A family of four, mother (20), father(20), and their two sons ( 3, and 9 months old) moved into a new home. During a home visit, last week this worker witnessed the home was very bare with only two lawn chairs in their living room. Mom and Dad both work full time and recently were scammed out of 800 dollars in April of 2023 by a fake landlord promising them a property that did not actually exist. This family would be so grateful for any help to furnish their new home. The most needed items are a couch, twin size bed for their son ( he is currently sleeping on a toddler bed that is on the floor), and a microwave.

It is hard for her to ask for help, but she is facing eviction. She owes 1,714.00. She is going to check about getting on housing but that won't help with her eviction.

This mother was working 2 jobs while pregnant and trying to save up before giving birth. Her son came early though and was very premature. She has stopped working to be with him at the hospital and is attempting to breastfeed him since that is best for all babies but especially premature babies, but she now cannot afford her rent. She will likely be off for at least 8 weeks. Her rent is $1,300.00. The mother may be able to return to work after 8 weeks to maintain her livelihood, but in the meantime needs extra support since she had tried to plan for this event and the baby had other ideas about when to be born Updated on May 10, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Mom now has an eviction notice with a baby about to come home from the NICU and this request is even more urgent. Help would allow this baby to go home with his mother.
